Tickled Pink No. 12 with a Hop!

What does it mean to be Tickled Pink?"...it's the figurative sense of the word that means 'to give pleasure or gratify'.The tickling pink concept is of enjoyment great enoughto make the recipient glow with pleasure ."-The Phrase Finder*************************I am tickled pink because...

I am lucky enough to be a Mom to two cute little turkeys...one of who is celebrating a b'day very soon!And after having spent some time at Cub Scout camp, I am kinda of thinking my big turkey may not really be a turkey....he is a good kid!{don't go getting mad at me...I call my kids turkeys in a loving way}******I am also tickled pink because I have been given the opportunityto write a third book for the Everything series.I love working with them and am so excited.

*************************Now, it is time forTickled PinkNo. 12!

Guess what? You post does not have to be PINK!?This day is about stuff we {heart} from our own blogs or from others.And who knows I may pick your post to SPOTLIGHT next week!

*************************don't get weighed downwith Karen at Waisting Time. I read this first line on Karen's "About" page and could totally relate."I have lost the same weight over and over again more times than I can count. I am a consistent exerciser but just don’t seem able to maintain weight loss."Sounds a little familiar...so I dove deeper.Her take on what it take to maintain Won't Power won me over! She also shares some great insights on why weight loss is more than a number! Then she went and used one of my favorite - as long as it is not referring to me - words...Cankles, as she talks about celebrating the body parts we DO like!

tomboy thank youto Girly TomboyI cannot really say why {it is top secret} but don't you just love blogland and the camaraderie and willingness to help others.I just found Girly Tomboy and her blog is too much fun! Maybe it is because she is chatting about all time fave, shows that ended too soon, and returning TV shows right now - and I watch way too much TV...and am already tired of reruns.Now, I love my makeup...and I am on the fence about Jessica Simpson {but she is growing on me}, but I thoroughly enjoyed this piece about Jessica and her Marie Claire cover.She also has some DIY going on...you all know how I love that...and I have a very similar vanity at my hose waiting for it's makeover!To top it off she gives us a little tea primer! I love my coffee, but hubby loves his tea!THANKS AGAIN!

Mary is determined to bring back Mom Sexy and is letting us Mom's {and non-mom's too} strut our stuff at her Mom Prom...guess what you do not have to be a mom to 2-legged creatures...4-legs {and possibly a fin} will allow you access to this event!

OK, so I am a little late to the game, and the linky is open through 6/25...but you can still go visit the other Mom Sexy Moms if you cannot link up yourself. It is worth it...if you do not believe me check out Erin's post - clever as always!

I have been wanting to start composting...no excuses, just been too busy, lazy, crazy to do anything about it. But I ran across this compost and it is my kind of compost. It is

Compost Cookies! I whipped up a batch of these...yummy. It was perfect because you can utilize those little bits of chocolate chips, coconut, candy bars, whatever and make some tasty treats.*************************new places to play There are some great linky's and meme's out there.Here are a few new ones that tickle me pink!********* Prior hosts a Prior Lives Party once a month..."...Do you have something that you have transformed or used differently than first intended or just an old something with a neat story to tell of a prior life? Well then, what are you waiting for? Link up and put a link back here, so everyone can hop around easily. Add a snap shot of you back in the day, if you'd like, because I sure would like"There is still time to link up for this month!******

Y'all know Debbie right? If you do not you are missing out! Debbie is fabulous and unique and every Friday has a Garage Salen party.

Adrienne at Stories from the ShoeBoxhosts Mommy Confessions Mondays at her place!It is a new meme and I always love a new party."There's only one rule.

I am visiting from NFF. (it's my first time joining that one) I'm so glad you were before me! What a delightful blog that I should have known about eons ago. (I don't have an exact measurement of "eons" but I think it means "a lot")

Your "about me" says you're "delightfully cynical" and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need to add that to my arsenal of ways to describe my snarkiness and make it more acceptable! I love it!

Sounds like you have some great blogs you read!!! I love how you took the time to really describe all of them, made me want to go visit each and every one!!! I love the Sexy Mom Prom idea, that is too cute!!!! And the sign the Mom made for the playhouse is so cool, I would have loved that.

I totally missed the very bottom of your post!!!! I can't believe I won! That's so awesome, especially since it's a surprise :) I just amended my post I did tonight... I think I did it right?!? Yay!!! I'm so excited.

Thank you so much for helping get the word out about my Mom Sexy Prom! I have had the best time with it this week and hope to do more similar events in the future. It is just so nice to get all dressed up once in a while and actually have someone notice! And I've had way more fun at this one than I ever did in high school!!

Thank you so much for featuring my site and meme! Your so thoughtful to take the time to decribe it. I can't wait to visit some of these other feautures today. I'm off to take my youngest for a morning out. Garage sales, target...fun! So I will visit everyone a little later. Thanks again!!

Oh, Holly, thank you for highlighting my citronella candles! I'm pretty sure I squealed out loud when I saw them here. :) Thank you so much for always stopping by to comment on all the links to your party. It means a lot!

I just found your blog through Erin at The Mother Load. I love how enthusiastic she is about this contest! This is a fantastic idea to feature other bloggers and share the love. I have discovered some amazing blogs this way. I also loved participating in the Mommyologist Prom and visiting all the other blogger participants. I have a quick question: I was going to participate in Tickled Pink today because I saw it last week, but didn't know it had a theme. I won't have time to detail other blogs today in a meaningful way. Do you post the themes ahead of time?

Holly! Please promise me you won't see the Twilight movie before you read the book. I think if you do that it'll ruin it forever. I didn't even like the 1st movie that much. The acting can be painful. I think you'll like the love story though in the book. :) Man! there are tons of new linky parties cropping up, love it!Heather @ www.savingmoneylivinglife.com

Great Holly, now I'm going to while away my morning visiting all Your Tickled Pink favs and blogs on the hop! What time should I tell Maddie you're bringing the donuts over ('cause Mama's too busy blog hoppin'). Tee, hee, hee!

I'm Tickled Pink every time a certain little someone (let's call her "Monkeybean") squeals when she sees Max.

Holly! How incredible about the book! That's awesome! :) Ok, I finally had time to go through and visit some of these great features. The memorial cupcakes are to die for, and the Mom prom is a riot!! So bummed I missed that. Maybe she'll do it again next year? And I just have to say...read the Twilight books first. the movies are...well, the acting leaves a lot to be desired. But I love the books so I can't help but love the movies too out of loyalty. LOL I was so embarrassed to admit I was a fan, but I am! Thanks again for featuring me and linking that post!

I really like your tickled pink party; however, it coincides with my Farmer Fridays feature and although I absolutely love our family farm and our pigs, I'm not quite sure how it fits with your tickled pink party. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this.

Fun to read an visit all the unique voices! I loved it! Sometime I might join in~ Congrats on another book! How exciting!!! Thanks for visiting me; Wish we could go have Mochas..off to make an iced one, right now~

Thanks for stopping by! I read and appreciate all of your sweet words and the time you have spent on my blog. I try hard to respond to comments and visit your blogs... eventually, but I will be honest life is pretty crazy right now!
